Re:New Torque Converter Design
Yes Don, I know that sliding friction is less than static friction... that can be proven, and I'm sure it's even written in even the standard physics book. I think you're reaching reeeeaally far on this clutch slippage deal. Believe me when I tell you, when my converter locks, it locks firmly, and it's not slipping. So far so good with almost 20K miles and almost 1200 ft-lbs of torque.<br><br>Also...<br>
<br><br>The output in that case would be 990 rpms. ;D<br><br>John
If you have a 99% efficient convertor the engine rpm may be 1000 rpm and the output side after the convertor would be 999rpm.
